Static Electricity - Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

VoidedWarranty.com has written an article on Static Electricity - Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).

Most of the time ESD damage is a silent killer because most people can't feel static discharge until the voltage has reached between 2000 and 4000 VDC.

We are going to show you a few inexpensive ways to help prevent ESD damage.
